i think it the concept that a player can sit out a whole year to protect his draft stock is hilarious, do they really think the school won't yank their schollie?

to be honest, that ship is actually turning at a high rate of speed given it size and the short duration of the GIF. The more you know.

Why is the option so tabu? I know it isn't sexy, I know it's not new, but can it work?   It's one way to at least buy some time and eat a clock. 

 

It might be the best thing about Saturday's drubbing- the rebirth of the option. 

it never went away, it just modernized. Oregon ran option out of spread sets, thats what we are supposed to be doing these days but we suck at it. Military academy style option, and then pistol, nevada style option. We kinda ran it with Bo but Beck didn't really understand it so we sucked at it when playing against good teams. 

So yea the option was never taboo, it just took on a new look. However peterson/perleman did a good job of getting people to beleive it was outdated, which was funny cuz that was at the same time as nevada and oregon were beginning to really take off.

It's pretty simple we need to focus on recruiting to our lines and especially our O-line. Until we make that a priority we won't do much in the B1G. If you've got a 4 and 5 star O-line with road graders playing on it you can have a 3 star RB and he'll run pretty damn well with holes the size of a Cadillac. And we need depth so we can rotate when we are getting gassed. We don't have that, not even close! I don't think we realized how good Ziggy was until he wasn't here. Good lord did he cover up alot of issues on the O-line! 

Most people didn't, not even people getting paid millions of dollars to coach either. We are thin at RB, and it shows this year.

I completely forgot gameday was even still a thang. Not gunna lie, kinda wish they had just kept on forgetting about us and kept on blighting the campuses of bama or clemson or whoever the flavor of the month down south is.

The guy was a total jackass on the sidelines so much to the point that it was embarrassing often times to watch.  I still think there is something seriously wrong with the dude.

 

As I said Bolievers Die HARD. 

 

 

 

we still judging the last coach to take us to our last CTG and string multiple winning seasons together based solely off sideline antics? Not a boliever, just curious how people that justify firing him over this then go seem to forget how it played out afterwards and wether or not it was all worth it just to not have to worry about sideline antics?

Good news is it sounds like Cam Taylor will be okay. 

Even better news, Eli sullivan is pretty good as well, so this isn't as big a weakness as the thread author thinks.

man, colorado's O-line is holding on for dear life, lol

If they let the kid play then clearly it's not as bad as was first thought. I mean, it's not like Scott pulled a snider and let Mo play after sexually assaulting someone the day after.

Fun fact....ou  was second fiddle in all of that only slightly. Ou did NOT want yo play us every year and they didn’t care if they threw away our rivalry. They openly stated that Texas is their rival. 

This is a really complex subject, but no. Keep reading. I'm not disputing what you are saying, they are on record saying that i'm pretty sure. However i am disputing that OU did as much as you seem to think they did. The rivalry largely met its demise thanks to meeting Texas' very substantial demands, Oklahoma not caring and even wanting to avoid us guaranteed no cross division rivalry format like we had in BIG 10 version 1.0. 

And for the bolded part, there were Big XII north schools who were more involved, and made more of an effort than OU was to see Texas added.

That was done that way specifically because they demanded they keep their yearly rivalry with Texas and didn't care about playing us.

well, fun fact, if you go back and look at when the Big XII was formed Texas dictated much of what happened, Oklahoma was mostly apathetic

Omfg 2009 lost to 83?!?!?!  Nnnnnnooooooo

This is a really good question and I think that a lot of writers/"experts" still think these things...

 

1.  Nebraska is and has been a good program and should be good again

2.  NW has a "great" coach but seem to live on lucky street

3.  Minny will never be better than 8-9 wins

4.  Illinois SHOULD be good but they suck

5.  Purdue has a really good coach...But...

6.  Wisconsin...Really good but I think people keep waiting for either the break through 13-0 season...or that 4 win season.

7.  Iowa....boring as f#&%

Exactly, then add in the whole urban meyer OSU fiasco, a young PSU, a Michigan with spotlight issues, and suddenly it looks pretty wide open. But i don't know if i fully share that enthusiasm.

I honestly wonder how much the current climate of the big ten has affected his projection? Still its an interesting prediction.

Watched this awhile ago and i can't recommend it enough. Hbo has always done or financed really good historical fiction as they call it. However the only fiction in the story are a few characters and sequences to shrink run time and keep things from getting too convoluted. Chernobyl is a masterpiece in this regard, and while not everything you see in the show actually happened, I would estimate well over 90% what see actually happened. 

I found a neat video on Youtube that highlights how accurate they got some of the scenes. 

If you have seen it what was your take on it?

Ok...this might be a strange question. 

 

Why does it seem like the world celebrates America’s contribution (which I don’t mean to diminish) on D day and not include Canada and England?  The British PM spoke, but what about Canada?  

 

It was an allied effort and England had almost as many troops involved. 

 

Or, does it just seem that way because I’m watching American TV?  

It's rather complicated, but in short while it was an allied effort, D-Day and the Western / Eastern, allied successes weren't possible without American Economic, and eventually military intervention. While American media certainly plays up our angle of the story, Europeans are fairly thankful for it their only other option for liberation was going to be at the hands of Stalins Soviet Russia, Which was as bad/worse than the Nazi's. So far as i have heard it form friends over there, they celebrate it as dodging the proverbial bullet day.

I've wondered what the feelings are for people in Germany.  I was there a few years ago and it struck me seeing elderly people thinking that they lived through the other side of the war.  In the US, we celebrate our elderly doing great things like today.  It made me wonder their feelings about the era.  

 

My wife and I both commented on the fact that elderly people over there seemed to look very tired and worn out (more than normal).  If you think about it, an 80 or 90 year old person in Germany has lived through hell (caused by their own country) then an incredible rebuilding of a country.

 

 

WWII is a complicated and difficult subject in Germany. But if you really want to know how the Germans view this period of the war, look up the fire bombing of Dresden, it goes a long way to explaining why people from that generation look the way they do.

For the sake of next year's team being decent can this state legalize weed already? I hate the stuff but come on! We aren't gunna have a running back this season the way it's going.

idk maybe somewhere along the way where coaches started making several millions and tv studios started getting rich as hell by profiting off kids who can't profit off themselves?

 

 

So if we start paying the kids for what they do on the field do we start charging them admission like everyone else? Genuinely curious.

No attitude  ... just an honest question ...

 

So, 400 offers and we have one guy on our board at DE.  He is a 3-star guy around KC.  

 

Hope we are on the DE spot and looking at more talent.  

 

Input?

 

our board has 1 DE, scotts probably has 5-6 they are actively recruiting to different degrees. Not worried

Yep.  I'd be surprised if we aren't noticeably ahead of most Pac-12 and Big XII teams.

You would both be correct. I'm not sure if we are still top 25 but we are still easily in and amongst the upper class in this regard. And will probably remain so until some time this next decade.
